who do you like?

Well, you obivously have to like Barbaro...but I sure wouldn't waste time betting on him.

The line has gone even on Barbaro. I like SweetNorthernSaint, followed by Barbaro and Diabolical.

I'm going to take a shot with this trifecta:

Brother Derek, Barbaro, Sweetnothernsaint, over
Brother Derek, Barbaro, Sweetnothernsaint, over
Diabolical


Preakness PPs

Indy.. dont over look greeleys legacy he just missed the derby cuy..

bernadini is lightly raced and could be an early pacer

also the NY horse Platinum Couple is on his home track..

id go with

barbaro, platinum couple and brother derek

and single bets..

Barbaro win place and show bet

Platinum couple win place and show bet..

I'm going by rider. Also, Diablo has finished 2nd to Barbaro in an earlier stakes race.

My guesses....

3 All-Star Studs with 2 Triple A Sept call-ups, and 4 A-Ball journeymen

Stars!!

6 Barbaro Edgar Prado Even(Should go off at 1-9) Class of the field!!

5 Brother Derek Alex Solis 3-1 Cali bred can handle the size of this field, hope he didn't use up too much in that "neversaydie" derby race.

7 Sweetnorthernsaint Great horse, won his maiden by 16, yes 16 lengths(and it was only 6F but they've run him HARD since.

Why we bet..lol
My $7 W/P/S Odds horses, this race is always a letdown after the Derby, but oh well.. I need the LONGIES $42, what/ & why I'll risk it.

1 Like Now, beat sweetnorthern in the Gotham with a 105 SR, so he has the moxi to run with class horses.

The 8 Bernardini
Sired-AP Indy(Seattle Slew!!!!) can do it all, and had a 104 Spd rating in a G-3 race....the Withers, by 3 3/4 lengths

I'll play A few Key/wheel Exotics with the odds horses, 56148 even though it looks like we'll have an $11.20 Exacta, and a $117 Tri


PS: I can sorta see why the rest of the field is there, locals, qualifiers, etc....

BUT what the heck does famed trainer N. Zito know about Hemingway's Key???? This horses claim to fame is a $24K allowance win at Caulder, and being owned by Yankee owner George S.(Ha glue farm threat, maybe!!)...Last year.. with an electric 80 SR. If he finishes within 20 lengths I'd call his trip a rousing success.

Hey you forgot hemingway is owned by george steinbrenner!!

well its over.. and another year without a triple crown.. I can only hope that Barbaros injury is not the Euthanize kind!!

I hear you acee, sad watching that majestic animal come up lame.

Glad I hedged with 8 Bernardini W/P/S cashed for ~$200. Oh well

Told everyone before the race the 3 was Threatened with Glue factory, and better play hard in exotics..lol I didn't though

espn just reported that it is a compound fracture and is life threatening!!

I know getting sader!
A friend whose at the track called me and said the buzz(Not alot, guess really somber feeling in the air) is.. there's supposedly ALOT of blood in his hind-quarter region. They(Not sure who) were concerned about medications?

Also, Even though he was very figidty pre-race...people are PEEod about whatever noise that caused him to jump the gun.

Aww, that's sad to hear. I missed the race, so I missed what happened. A noise spooked him? Is that was caused his injury?

That is truly a bad turn of events for the owner and especially for that poor horse.... Ty

yes yes.. very sad..
